Traversable wormholes satisfying energy conditions in f(Q) gravity

Abstract

Abstract In this article, a new family of asymptotically flat wormhole solutions in the context of symmetric teleparallel gravity, i.e., f ( Q ) theory of gravity, are presented. Considering a power-law shape function and some different forms of the f ( Q ) function, we show that a wide variety of wormhole solutions for which the matter fields satisfy some energy conditions, are accessible. We realize that the presence of f ( Q ) gravity will be enough to sustain a traversable wormhole without exotic matter. The influence of the free parameters of the shape function and the f ( Q ) models on the energy conditions is investigated. The equation of state and the boundary conditions are analyzed.
